Forget it. Nothing happening. Gauge (13,320 sq.Mi.) is just a couple miles downstream, thus should be quite accurate at portraying flows for this location. |
River Description
A set of wave/holes ("Center Wave", "Spin Hole", "Half-way Wave", and
"Dream Hole") form under the 1st Street bridge, depending upon the water level.
|
3,500 - 10,000
|
Playable, but tame. (Pretty much just flatspins and surfs.) Many may consider this 'too
low'.
|
|
10,000-15,000
|
Two waves are well-formed. Generally still too shallow for vertical moves, but still decent
play.
|
|
15,000 - 20,000
|
Great surfs and spins in the big wave. Retendos are possible, but generally still a bit
shallow for full vertical moves. "Halfway Wave" appears, steep, narrow and green.
|
|
20,000-30,000
|
Dream Hole begins to form, but may be irregular and changing moment to moment.
|
|
30,000+
|
Well, what can we say . . . dreamland! Imagine, a cartwheeling hole 100' wide and friendly
as could be!
